Title: Questions to Ask Before Building a Sunroom
1Questions to Ask Before Building a Sunroom
2Anytime we think about summers we almost always
have a picture of easy living one part of the
easy living for some people might be considering
adding a sunroom that they have always dreamed
about. Sunrooms are a sure delight whenever they
are added to any existing home. This enables
you to bring in some delicious feeling of the
outdoors but without a few unwelcome guests who
live to interfere with your enjoyment of nature
such as rain and mosquitoes. You can speak to a
qualified contractor to advise you on adding a
sunroom to your home but before then, you must
ask yourself a few questions so you can make an
informed decision.
3Do you really need one? Building sunrooms is
considered an important investment that has a
slightly low return on investment. Most people
who sell their houses after adding a sunroom
almost always recoup only about 50 of what they
spent in building it. Sunrooms become a
worthwhile project if you are planning to stay in
your current home for many years so you and your
family can enjoy he sun regularly.
4How big will your sunroom be? Most people will
think that the sunroom should be as big as
possible you must consider how much of the
available outdoor space you are willing to
sacrifice for you to add a sunroom. You need to
consult your local government to find out if
there are zoning regulations that dictate the
size of your house and how close you are allowed
to build next to the perimeter fence. You must
also realize that your property tax is likely to
improve in relation to the square footage of the
sunroom that you build even though the charges
may be slightly lower.
5What will you use the sunrooms for? This could
sound like a misplaced question because most
people believe that the sole purpose is getting a
place where you can soak in the sunshine.
However, it is important to think about what else
you may want to use the sunroom for you may want
to use for relaxing, taking a leisurely breakfast
over the weekend or keeping your houseplants in
winter. Your answer to this question will
determine the location of the sunroom and whether
you may need to install an HVCA unit.
6How will you control temperature? On a typical
summer day, you could do with well-chosen blinds
to block away the suns strong rays. The
positioning of the vinyl replacement windows
should be such that they will allow a cool breeze
and they can also reflect and they should also
have a low UV-value glass. If the sunroom will be
used during winter, you may want to create space
for a heater or an electric fireplace.
